Career Opportunities

Geographers are both generalists, who can think interdisciplinarily and incorporate different perspectives, and specialists, who are experts within one area. This combination of ‘breadth' and ‘depth' means that geographers find employment in many different areas, including:

In the private sector, e.g. consulting engineering firms

In public administration, e.g. as urban planners, project coordinators, environmental workers, business development consultants, student and career counsellors or as academic workers in international organisations
